Our Careers Offer:

At Cambridge Park Academy, we aim to ensure that our students have the opportunity to explore a range of career options and are ready for their next steps towards the world of work.

Our vision is to provide the support required for each learner’s personalised pathway into post 16. We support our learners to obtain experience, awareness and skills that will be an aspiration towards their development. Along with the support from external agencies and community links, each learner has the opportunity to gain confidence and encourages them to thrive within the journey to their preferred destination.

As an academy, we will:

• Inspire and engage our students in planning their own Careers pathway, increase motivation to aim high, and understand what benefit their subjects have in the real world of work.
• Engage with employers and organisations to increase real life experiences.
• Cambridge Park Academy is committed to providing a planned programme of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) for all students, in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Careers Service and The Career and Enterprise Company (a central government funded organisation, that works with schools nationally to promote a network between education and employers, as well as support for careers education in schools) in order to meet the Gatsby benchmarks.

Parents and Carers:

Parental involvement is encouraged with our careers programme. Online resources are accessed through the links on the school website. Parents are kept up to date with careers work through letters, newsletters and parents’ evening, that include representatives from post 16 education providers and other professionals linked with career development. Parents/Carers are contacted by independent careers advisors from the North East Lincolnshire Careers service following student interviews during years 9, 10 and 11 and are asked to contribute to Education and Health Care Plans including consideration for pathways for students.

If you are a parent or carer and would like to discuss any aspect of the careers programme, or would like to volunteer to attend one of our careers events as a guest speaker – please contact our careers leader, Stephanie Harper using the email or telephone number above.
